The Jazz Angle


In mid-2015 we produced an album of some of our then-favorite jazz standards – all written between 1928 and 1993.

Luke Clebsch was our bass player at that time, and we recorded guest appearances by our dear friends

Slyde Hyde, Andrea Lindborg and Joey Bradley.


Richard played producer, and we recorded and mixed

the project with Charles Brotman at Lava Tracks Studios

in Waimea during April, May and June of 2015.


The album is available now at

www.ricardorussell.bandcamp.com

as well as other music Richard has produced.





A NOTE OF GRATITUDE

Jesse, Richard and Brian were part of another, earlier "band" –

called the Slippersons – and we released a new album of jazz originals in 2016,

which was nominated for a 2017 Na Hoku Hanohano Award in Hawaii,

for Jazz Album of the Year! Click on the cover below to learn more.


Mahalo nui to everyone who made that possible!

ALSO FYE – We made some informal recordings of our Firiday night performances,

and if you're interested you can hear a few of them edited with no adjustments.

It sounds like we're in a restaurant…which we were.

Put it on when you're eating at home alone….

In May of 2018 our "big band" released a live album of mostly originals,

recorded in a Seattle sound recording studio set in a beautiful church building…

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED…

We had the opportunity to create the theme music for a superb public radio program

on PRX, called Truth, Politics & Power,

with Neal Conan (RIP), previously host of

"Talk of the Nation" on NPR

(among other things).
